[quote=09080706l]Because the game developers literally provided NO incentives for users to go there.

Think about it;

Ludi:
-Dual Ghost Pirates are obsolete training
-Quests are obsolete
-PQ transportation isn't even there anymore
-Papulatus hasn't been efficient for 3 years

Aqua:
-No decent training maps
-Pianus gives no incentives but for people who are bored or want soul shards (which is ridiculously rare by the way)
-Pianus spawns way too slow for how fast users can kill it nowadays
-Quests give garbage
-KFT blocked off, transport between Ludi <--> Aqua is gone

Omega Sector (closed, but same thing applies):
-No good quests
-Training is below average

KFT:
-Subpar EXP in general
-Quest content doesn't provide anything helpful

Neo City:
-Beautifully developed area (visually) with probably the most boring map layout ever.
-Quests are irrelevant
-Monsters give bad EXP

Then we have THESE areas which are closed off for no good reason at all--

Florina Beach/ Nautilus East:
-I don't even know why they closed this area off. It's really dumb.

Ellinia North:
-Closed off for no reason; Lupin spawns weren't bad

Kerning Square:
-Great EXP, closed for "reparations"

TLDR; Old content unrevamped and irrelevant, thus become dead. Poor game development especially to open to new players.[/quote]

It's what happens when people complain about not enough content. Stuff gets tossed out too soon without thoughts on exp/quest rewards hence certain stuff gets done a lot more frequently then others.

starting from beta
HHG1>GreenMush Trees>Boars/F.Boars>Zombie Lupins>Coolie Zombies>Zakum(Endgame)
With PQ added>kcpq in replacement up to level 31.
With Ludi added> Lpq from 35-51 in replacement until Coolies to 71>Death Teddies/Master Death Teddies/Dual Pirates depending on class>endgame
With Leafre added>~80(funded) or 90(unfunded) Jr. Newtie PT>Skele>HT/Zak(Endgame)

I quit once around here.

When I come back what do I see?
1-30 job quests, literally no work required to level to 30>Elliniel Forest>Gold Beach>Tots Helper>Drakes>RnJ to 140>DiPQ/Bosses. The party aside from PQ aspect? Dead.

So there's two problems here. The game is poorly optimized so much that when in a party the game lags too much and enforces solo play, and unbalanced or just downright broken old areas. When I hit the level for Twilight Aqua, I was so disappointed. Not only was the questline just boring because everything could be one shot, but the story was terrible and the fact that the boss of the questline can just be fought right at the start.

The game being unbalanced is huge, Nexon and the community have no standard to base their balancing on anymore.
Someone that hasn't spent any cash or invested almost full time hours making mesos in game are probably sitting at less than 60k range.
Anyone that's spent some cash or some time merching and have been smart about their decisions can range from 200k to 1.1mil.
Anything past that and it's 1.2m+.

How do you balance that? People that have spent a lot of money/time are going to complain that there's no good training spots since everything is too easy and bosses are a joke. On the other hand, folks that don't spend hours or money can't do anything in the latter stages of the game and won't be able to do anything past easy on newer bosses. The community is so split between the two that genuine conversations are almost impossible unless it's someone needing something off of someone.

I'm not here to say what they need to do, there's enough threads for that every week. What I am agreeing to is 09080706l's post about major lack of balance and the fact that 90% of the content in this game can be removed and it would impact no one.

@09080706l: i just go there to train

@MeiGuiHua

All the listed.

@09080706l: which area aqua road?

[quote=MeiGuiHua]Wow you're actually targeting nexon and you blame them for everything they done for us[/quote]

No. It's just this area that needs a lot of work.

All the old content needs a revamp mob/exp wise. If the monsters had similar exp to the already full particular few training maps,
then every training spot wouldn't be a massive orgy.

hi concrete

they all drowned, their bodies were never recovered </3

You should check out Ludibrium

went there to put the fishies asleep

@above, you're unquotable because 2 r's and an n is censored?

Goby parties, squid parties, the old days.

No one was ever there...

there's no point anymore

[quote=mdisback]I went their today and its such a fun place, what happened to it? It's so dead now[/quote]

The treasure hunt event used up my aquarium quota for the next decade.

Every town except Henesys is always dead.

I afk there all the time.
And in Twisted Aquarium.

apparently they do because pianus is always missing. other than that, it's kinda sad how all the old content is irrevelent now.

Can't afford it sorry
